Arugula burrata salad

I’m always looking for ways to serve burrata, like grilled peaches with burrata. It’s so creamy and wonderful, but it needs accompaniments with lots of flavor to dress it up. Arugula is the perfect combo.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Quick and Easy: With just a few simple steps and no cooking required, this salad is ready to enjoy in minutes, perfect for busy days.
  • Balanced Dressing: The drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze adds a perfect balance of richness and tanginess to every bite.
  • Health Conscious: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the arugula and cherry tomatoes, this salad is a healthy choice.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients for arugula burrata salad
  • Fresh Arugula – Peppery and crisp, available at most grocery stores. Substitute with mixed greens for a milder flavor.
  • Cherry Tomatoes – I like serving this salad with cherry tomatoes because they’re crisper and less watery than larger tomatoes.
  • Burrata Cheese – Known for its creamy and indulgent flavor. There really is no substitute for burrata, but fresh mozzarella is the closest substitute.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – If you don’t have extra virgin olive oil, any high-quality cooking oil, such as avocado oil or walnut oil, can be used as a substitute.
  • Balsamic Glaze – Make sure to use a glaze not a balsamic vinegar, which is too liquidy and not sweet enough.
  • Salt and Pepper

Helpful Tips

  • For the best flavor and texture, ensure that the arugula, cherry tomatoes, and burrata cheese are all chilled before assembling the salad.
  • To prevent the salad from becoming soggy, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the ingredients just before serving.
  • Enhance the salad with thinly sliced prosciutto for a salty and savory addition that complements the creamy burrata and peppery arugula. If you’d prefer to keep things vegetarian-friendly, consider adding a crunchy texture by sprinkling toasted nuts such as pine nuts, almonds, or walnuts over the salad before serving.

Possible Substitutes

  • Greens: If arugula’s peppery bite isn’t your thing, try baby spinach for a milder taste or a mix of spring greens for a variety of textures and flavors.
  • Cheese: Burrata is uniquely creamy and rich, but you can substitute it with fresh mozzarella for a similar mild flavor but less creamy texture.
  • Nuts: Many arugula and burrata salads include pine nuts for crunch. You can swap these out for sliced almonds, chopped walnuts, or pecans, depending on what you have on hand or prefer.
  • Dressing: A simple balsamic glaze is a common choice for this salad, but you can also try a lemon vinaigrette for a citrusy kick, or a pesto dressing for a herby flavor.
